CSA report: Landisdale Farm

Tuesday, June 10, 2008

Sadly, I have used up nearly all of the CSA share from Landisdale Farm that I picked up on Saturday, so no photos for this one.  But here is what was in the box:

  • two pints of strawberries
  • four stalks of rhubarb
  • two bags of spinach
  • two bags of red kale
  • two bunches of red bunching onions
  • two heads of Red Sails lettuce

My husband ate most of the strawberries (and is now completely sick of strawberries - between those and the huge volume of strawberries coming out of our garden, well...it was strawberry overload).  I used almost all the kale in risotto that also used the last of my frozen butternut squash from last season.  The rhubarb got frozen for future use.  I used up about half of the lettuce in a massive salad after the dragon boat race Saturday night.  The red bunching onions got used in nearly everything I cooked this week!  I used a little of the spinach in my scrambled eggs Saturday morning, but I do have quite a bit left.  I guess I’ll have to come up with something great to use the spinach for by the end of the week!
